Talking politics, women Nov. 22 DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News

Joss and Oscar Widjaya and Pete Le Voguer say the lives of their kids as well as those of other families in Port Moody’s Seaview neighbourhood, are imperilled by speeding drivers along Cecile and Angela drives who also disregard the four-way stop at that intersection. Le Voguer was scheduled to lead a delegation of concerned residents to Port Moody council last night to present their case for better signage, perhaps including a blinking pedestrian crossing light. For more info, see story on page 9.
Encouraging more women to enter politics and helping them overcome challenges will be the topic of discussion next Wednesday when Metro Conversations comes to the Tri-Cities. The discussion series tackling important municipal issues will address women in politics less than a year before the next civic elections. It’s important for women and men to talk about ways to include women in municipal politics because their voices need to be heard, says Kiersten Duncan, a Maple Ridge city councillor who is organizing the event.

Whistleblower protection push in PoCo Policy reaction to theft of $175,000 JANIS CLEUGH
The Tri-CiTy News
The theft of $175,000 in Port Coquitlam taxpayer funds by
a city employee has prompted a whistleblower policy for municipal staff. The proposed policy, which was scheduled to go before city council at last night’s meeting, is designed to protect employees and council when reporting possible internal misconduct.
The guideline comes seven months after The Tri-City News broke the story of a PoCo worker who, over the course of three years, used a city credit card and the purchasing system to bill a total of $175,000 to purchase tools and other gear, then resell them for personal gain.
That unidentified employee confessed to the offences when confronted after a co-worker alerted a manager. (The employee repaid all the money and resigned, and, last month, a police report was forwarded to Crown counsel, which will decide whether to
lay criminal charges.) The city policy, as recommended by department heads and brought forward this month by PoCo’s human resources manager Steve Traviss, notes: “The city expects, supports and will protect all individuals who report improper conduct and
wrongdoings” such as theft, bribes, conflicts of interest and embezzlement; unauthorized or inappropriate use of city funds, assets or corporate information; and violations of the criminal and human rights codes. see MANY CITIES, page 10

REMEMBRANCE DAY: COQUITLAM & PORT MOODY
At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, dozens of people gathered to mark Remembrance Day in events held in Coquitlam and Port Moody. In Coquitlam, they stood solemnly at the cenotaph in Blue Mountain Park — where red poppies had been painted on the grass — and the nearby branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. In Port Moody, there was a service at Kyle Centre and a ceremony at the cenotaph at the PoMo Arts Centre, including a 21-gun cannon salute by the Seymour Artillery and a fly-over by the Swiftbird Ex-RAF Team.

McLaughlin said. “Do a single task when you’re driving and that is drive.” To reinforce that message, McLaughlin said the department is also stepping up enforcement of infractions like not yielding to pedestrians in crosswalks and rolling through stop signs. And as the days get shorter and winter rains set in, McLaughlin said the stakes are high. “Often pedestrians aren’t at fault but they’re going to lose every time in a collision with a car.”

ate predictable behaviour for everyone using the road. “A lot of people wonder why they need to cross at a crosswalk, and the fact is, you’re not doing that just for yourself, you’re communicating with everyone around you,” McLaughlin said. “You’re safer when you’re doing something you’re supposed to be doing.” That goes for motorists as well, McLaughlin said.

According to ICBC, there are 1,400 crashes involving pedestrians and motor vehicles every year in the Lower Mainland — and almost half occur during the dark winter months. Last Tuesday, teams of officers from Coquitlam RCMP, representatives from ICBC and community volunteers were trying to do something about that as they handed out reflective stickers and cards with safety tips to passersby at busy pedestrian areas at transit stations, around Coquitlam city hall and in downtown Port Coquitlam. Cpl. Michael McLaughlin of the Coquitlam RCMP said by the end of the day, all 8,000 stickers had been distributed, mostly to receptive recipients who appreciated the bright, eye-catching flashes of colour on their dark winter coats and jackets as well as the reminders to be extra alert in the weeks and months ahead. He hopes they take that to heart. “We really hope people make good decisions,” McLaughlin said. One of those decisions is to be predictable. McLaughlin said while human nature may motivate a pedestrian to cross in the middle of a block because they perceive it as a more efficient way to get where they’re going, crosswalks, stop signs and lights exist to cre-

CIVIC POLITICS
‘Challenges’ for women who run for office: councillors “It’s a great opportunity for someone interested in running to learn about some of the challenges they may face. It can be really overwhelming when you run for the first time and you have these barriers,” said the first-term councillor. Answering “incredibly sexist questions” as to why she wasn’t spending more time with her family and ”the assumption that I am the secretary” was frustrating, said Duncan, who also said she believes some voters were “focused on the old-fashioned belief that women should be working in the home” instead of being involved in politics. Changing those attitudes is the main reason she wanted a discussion focusing on the topic as part of Metro Conversations, which was initiated by a group of younger councillors who met following a Union of BC Municipalities meeting a year ago and have held similar events in three other municipalities focusing on transportation, renovictions and the future of the single-family home. Two Tri-City councillors say they welcome the discussion of women in politics close to home. Coquitlam’s Bonita Zarrillo
TALK DETAILS Metro Conversations on women in politics takes place Wednesday, Nov. 22 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Gathering Place, 200-2253 Leigh Sq., Port Coquitlam. Admission is free.
DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
PoCo Coun. Laura Dupont and Coquitlam Coun. Bonita Zarrillo will be part of a discussion next week about women in politics and Port Coquitlam’s Laura Dupont will be among the panelists and say more women should run for political office to ensure equality in decision making. “This is an exciting time for women’s voices to be heard,” Zarrillo said. Helping women achieve their goals are various mentorship groups, such as Equal Voice, a national organization dedicated to electing more women to political office; and the Canadian Women Voters Congress, which offers a campaign school. Still, there are challenges, the two say.
Zarrillo said women are encouraged to ask questions instead of making assertive statements, to avoid appearing overly strident, while Dupont said women are told to wear powerful colours and their outfits are sometimes scrutinized. Women who prefer to work collaboratively instead of adversarially don’t always get respect, Dupont said, noting, “Being more collaborative and more thoughtful is not seen as valuable.” Still, they say it’s worth the effort to overcome challenges to get a seat at the table because important issues are dealt with
and individual politicians can make a difference. “I’d love to see more women come forward to assert themselves and their capabilities,” Zarrillo said. Women politicians may also benefit from proposed changes in municipal campaign financing, such as the banning of union and corporate donations, and new contribution caps, said Zarrillo, especially if they have large networks of people willing to hand over $20 apiece and are adept at social media and can use it to wield influence. But success in politics still comes down to meeting people face to face, no matter your gender, the two say, and pounding the pavement still matters. “It makes us work a little bit harder and knock on a few more doors,” Zarrillo said.

BELCARRA REGIONAL PARK
Cottage kerfuffle, cont’d. Belcarra cottages to be preserved in latest Metro plan MARIO BARTEL
The Tri-CiTy News
Metro Vancouver’s latest proposal for Belcarra Regional Park would see five of the seven heritage cottages that were once summer homes for the family and friends of John Bole restored and retained on the site as “interpretive landscape displays.” But Jo Ledingham, a longtime resident in one of the cottages, says the new plan doesn’t honour the “spirit” of the heritage designation that Port Moody council bestowed upon six of the cottages last February. “The heritage designation is actually for the Belcarra South cottage community — and we believe ‘community’ includes people,” Ledingham said. “Static display turns our community into a ghost town.” The new plan would also restore Bole House, which was built by the family’s patriarch in 1934. It would become a seasonal multi-purpose building for use by the public. A sixth cottage that was heavily damaged by a fallen tree would also be rebuilt to its heritage character if the region can secure the necessary permits from the

Metro Vancouver’s latest plan for seven heritage cottages (including Bole House, above) at Belcarra Regional Park includes “interpretive landscape displays” — but no residents. city of Port Moody. The fate of a seventh cottage is still to be determined pending further discussions with the village of Belcarra, where that building is located. Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay said Metro’s latest proposal for the cottages and Bole House “would seem to address the concerns that our council has with the loss of the cottages and preserving these heritage assets.” Metro Vancouver and Port Moody have been at loggerheads over the future of the cottages and Bole House for more than two years after the regional board that operates the park endorsed a plan that had been on the books since 1985 to expand the picnic site in Belcarra South and improve public access to the waterfront. The
plan also calls for the construction of a 700 m trail, two toilet facilities and 60 parking spots, and the restoration of natural habitat around a pond and the cottages. Metro Vancouver estimates the total cost for the project will be about $4.3 million. While the original plan to improve public access to Belcarra South would have seen several of the cottages demolished — and the residents who currently live in them on a month-tomonth lease arrangement displaced — the heritage designation protects them from being demolished or moved. In May, council extended similar status to Bole House. The heritage designation also requires the property’s owner to maintain it in accordance with the city’s heritage maintenance standards, something a report
presented to Metro Vancouver’s regional parks committee said could be achieved with the new plan. “All of these buildings will need to be stabilized and upgraded for continued retention,” the report stated. “This work will include installing foundations and securing the building envelope in a way that respects the historical elements of the buildings.” To help pay for the work — estimated to cost more than $2 million — Metro Vancouver is pursuing legal action under the Local Government Act that entitles compensation to the owner of a heritage designated property for any reduction in market value because of that designation. Metro Vancouver said its expansion plans for Belcarra South are necessary because of growing public demand. “These park lands were originally purchased for public use,” the report said. “Demand in the regional park has grown to the point where the Belcarra South area and buildings need to be converted to public use.” Clay said the city still has concerns about the park’s expansion that would bring more visitors and cars to the area. The new plan goes before the full Metro Vancouver board on Nov. 24.

A group of parents from Port Moody’s Seaview neighbourhood is hoping city council heeds their plea for better signage to control speeders and stop sign runners before it’s too late. Pete Le Voguer, who was scheduled to lead a delegation of about a half dozen neighbours at Tuesday’s Port Moody council meeting, said there have been too many close calls at the four-way stop at Cecile and Angela drives, near Seaview elementary school. Le Voguer said drivers rushing to drop their kids at the school and commuters hurrying their way out of the residential area to Clarke Road routinely ignore the stop signs and the 30 km/h speed limit. And while Port Moody Police officers occasionally conduct an enforcement blitz along one of only two routes in and out of the neighbourhood, he said more needs to be done to get the attention of motorists. He suggested blinking crosswalk lights to alert drivers of the pedestrian crossings might be a start. “Just trying to cross, you take your life into your hands,” Le Voguer told The Tri-City News. Joss Widjaya saw that first-

COPS SEEKING HIT & RUN DRIVER Mounties are searching for a newer model pickup truck that struck a pedestrian last month in Coquitlam’s Austin Heights neighbourhood. The incident occurred shortly after 11 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 26 at the corner of Austin Avenue and Nelson Street. Witnesses told investigators a black pickup truck stopped briefly after hitting the pedestrian but took off without leaving any identification or contact numbers. “We are interested in hearing the driver’s version of this collision and we hope they will do the right thing and talk to us,” said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Michael McLaughlin. “We also encourage anyone who recognizes the truck to call us and help us get the full picture of what happened.” The person who was hit suffered serious injuries but is expected to make a full recovery. Police described the vehicle as a shiny black, newer model extended or crew cab pickup with six-point, chrome wheels and fog lights. Anyone with any information is asked to call the Coquitlam RCMP’s non-emergency number at 604-9451580 and ask for the Coordinated Collision Investigation Team (quoting file number 2017-34379). Those who wish to provide information anonymously can do so by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or visit www.solvecrime.ca.

It also outlines the reporting procedure: civic employees and councillors — or their managers — are to write a statement that is detailed enough to launch an internal investigation, if needed. But if the worker or official makes a report deemed to be in bad faith, they will face discipline. Whistleblower protection is not new for local governments in Canada. Vancouver has a policy for civic workers while, in Toronto, city hall staff can remain anonymous when making reports. In 2009, the city of Coquitlam adopted whistleblower rules. Two years later, Port Moody’s city manager approved a serious complaints policy “to provide a process for employees to report any conduct that is not consistent with city policies and bylaws, without the fear of retaliation or penalization” as long as the report is in good faith.

As well, as part of the 2018 budget deliberations, staff will bring forward a request for funding to implement ongoing internal audit reviews by a third party.

Benefits boost possible for PoCo council, mgmt. If OK’d for budget, benefits would match union’s JANIS CLEUGH
The Tri-CiTy News
Some Port Coquitlam councillors call it “fair.” Others say it’s “disrespectful.” Either way, an upgraded benefits package for PoCo councillors and non-union city staff will be included in next year’s draft budget. Last week, the city’s financial and intergovernmental committee voted 4-2 in favour of the benefits boost that, if passed as part of the budget, would see elected officials and senior civic managers get benefits matching those CUPE Local 498 workers will receive starting Jan. 1. The proposed benefit change — needed to address internal parity, PoCo’s human resources manager Steve Traviss wrote in a report to council — would add $11,000 to the budget next year. (That amount would be just 0.01% of the current operating budget of $98 million.) And it’s another cost that taxpayers can’t afford, two councillors contend, especially as the city is building a $132-million

POCO COUN. BRAD WEST recreation complex over the next five years. “People in our community are struggling to make ends meet,” said Coun. Brad West. “They’re not getting wage increases and it’s getting harder and harder to stretch out paycheques. “I think asking the public to pay for more is very disrespectful,” he added. “We’re increasing massages for people who are already making significant salaries… For me, it wasn’t just a ‘no,’ it was a ‘hell, no.’ This sends the wrong message to taxpayers.” West, who opposed the request along with Coun. Mike Forrest, argued the city shouldn’t be tying its benefits package to the collective bargaining or budget process.
Vicki is a library assistant who loves working with students. She helps find books they want to read, access online resources for assignments, or even track down a lost document. Something new happens everyday. Vicki hopes to retire after 20 years of service. Like many SD 43 workers, she'll lose postretirement health benefits.
But Coun. Darrell Penner said council needs to be fair to all staff — no matter what position they hold. “Exempt staff has as much right to [benefits] as CUPE staff,” said Coun. Glenn Pollock, who was endorsed by labour groups in the 2014 election. “It’s not a great deal of money. This is really a no-brainer.” Pollock also said councillors who leave their job for a public service position should be covered. “This isn’t part-time work that we do,” Coun. Laura Dupont said. “I want to see council jobs accessible to everyone, not just the rich. If it’s low pay with no benefits, then that’s going to be a barrier.” As for exempt staff, Dupont said, “They may make a lot of money but that’s not any reason to not keep them at par with others at city hall.” The benefits package, as voted on Nov. 7, would see, among other things, increases to extended health care and vision care. Meanwhile, capital deliberations for the 2018 budget are scheduled for Dec. 11 while talks about operating expenses will be held Dec. 12. Public consultation will be conducted early next year.
Broken Promises Coquitlam school support workers deserve better. In September, School District 43 reported a $13 million surplus. Yet they’re cutting post-retirement health benefits for workers who retire after 2017. Dedicated workers who support children in our schools should be able to count on health benefits when they’ll need them most.
Call SD #43 at (604) 939-9201 and tell them to reverse the post-retirement health benefit cut. A message from your support workers in Coquitlam schools. cope491

“So it’s basically okay to have people live in pigeon coops and no one sees the issue? NO one has figured out that it’s in a developer’s best interest to make smaller units because they garner way more profits that way? Smaller units equals more units which in turn equals big profits.” CHRISTINE CONNELLY COMMENTS ON A STORY ABOUT A PROPOSAL TO ALLOW MICRO SUITES IN COQUITLAM
THE TRI-CITY NEWS’ OPINION
Small suites? Sure, as long as amenities are available, too L
ocation, location, location is a popular real estate mantra but will become increasingly important if Coquitlam approves changes to its affordable housing strategy, especially with regards to unit size and parking requirements. With land scarce and housing prices going though the roof, it makes sense to allow more variety in the kind of units offered to respond to market needs. But along with ensuring that transit is frequent and accessible, these units in denser developments need to be close to parks and other amenities NEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DELIVERY 604-472-3040 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 CLASSIFIED ADS 604-444-3056 n
to reduce the need for a car and make apartment life more livable. Public space will be increasingly important as the Tri-Cities moves toward a more urban lifestyle. What we would like to see alongside this important affordable housing strategy is a clear vision of what the city will look like in 10 years, when many of these buildings will be finished and full. Will it be a garden city or an urban jungle? The city is now looking at micro suites, as small as 312 sq. ft. in condos, to keep prices affordable, as well as lock-off suites in townhouses that

would allow people to rent out a suite to help cover the mortgage. As well, it is aiming to increase the stock of three-bedroom apartments to accommodate families (and while family life in a suite might take some getting used to, it is probably a necessity in the future). Another strategy to keep units affordable would be to reduce parking requirements for buildings so that expensive land isn’t tied up in a concrete pad for a car. This is also part of Coquitlam’s update of its affordable housing strategy, and it’s sensible, as long as these units are close to transit and even car sharing vehicles.
There is no sense reducing parking only to have neighbourhood streets clogged with cars. So accompanying these amendments should be expectations of amenities as well as requirements that realtors and landlords give a realistic picture of auto use, schools, buses and community centres when selling these suites. At the same time, buyers need to be aware of what they are getting into if they purchase these units. There will be no gilding the lily for these concrete boxes if they do turn out to be ugly weeds.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING
How do micro suites help? The Editor, Re. “Tiny units suite deal” (The Tri-City News, Nov. 8). The term “affordability” means to have the financial means for; bear the cost of; be able to afford. In view of this definition, one has to wonder what is Coquitlam city councillors’ understanding of affordability. A wrongful and misguided policy that allows foreign nationals to buy property in B.C. is causing soaring house prices that are putting home ownership out of reach for many Canadian families. Therefore, domestic buyers are losing out as many young couples wanting to raise a family are not able to purchase a house. What we need is to deal with the property prices and make them affordable to Canadians. Perhaps one approach is to follow New Zealand’s example; its government passed legislation to ban foreign buyers from purchasing existing homes in an attempt to alleviate a housing crisis by halting a trend among the world’s wealthy to snap up property. As BC Green leader Andrew
TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO
Plenty of condos are under construction but the letter write questions how proposed micro suites in Coquitlam will help housing affordability. Weaver said: “It’s not about stopping people from owning homes who live here and pay taxes, it’s about ensuring British Columbians can live in homes in British Columbia.” He also said: “When we turn our real estate sector into one for speculation as opposed to living, we have a problem.” A huge problem B.C. already has is the system is failing to
protect its most vulnerable — most notably, the elderly, who cannot afford a roof over their heads. In the meantime, Coquitlam councillors are suggesting that developers build a 300-sq. ft. habitat. Will this solve the affordability predicament? Who would be able to live in such a pigeon cage? If wages are not sufficient
for a family or a retiree to rent a Coquitlam basement suite due to the ridiculous asking prices demanded by the new flow of immigrants who purchase most of the available houses, how would reducing the sizes of units make purchasing or renting affordable? Is this a step towards solving the problem or merely applying a bandage? Whereas a large number of Coquitlam houses and apartments are not occupied by the people who purchased them or, in some cases, they remain vacant, the 140 units of belowmarket rental housing that resulted from the affordability strategy launched in 2015 seem to be wholly inadequate and shortsighted. Unless British Columbians have legislation banning the purchase of existing homes by foreign buyers, Canadians will continue being displaced. Is it not the purview — indeed, even the responsibility — of government to protect its citizens as opposed to catering to those for whom Canada is not even home? Marta Posilovic, Coquitlam

Honour our vets all year round The Editor, As I pinned on my poppy, I could not help but reflect upon what it means to respect and honour all those who were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. They were the average Joes, Johns and Jeans whose love ones at home suffered as much as they did not know-
ing what the future would thrust upon them. They did their duty unquestioningly and were guided by decisions of the times. They deserve our respect all year, not only when pompous politicians see it advantageous to their cause. Ignac Fodor, Coquitlam

Coquitlam says ‘so long’ to sister cities GARY MCKENNA The Tri-CiTy News
Coquitlam is winding down a handful of dormant sister and friendship city partnerships but will continue to focus on agreements made with Paju, South Korea and Foshan, China. The city’s economic development manager, David Munro, told The Tri-City News that some of the arrangements were signed in the 1990s and had gone dormant over the years. He noted that by concluding the partnerships with Laizhou, China, Tochigi, Japan and Ormoc, Quezon and San Juan, Philippines, staff will be able to better pay attention to the two agreements that are producing results. “We are refocusing our priorities,” Munro said. “I think we wanted to make sure the relationships are active and beneficial to both parties.” He added that successful agreements feature economic, educational and cultural elements. For example, delegations from Paju have met with the TriCities Chamber of Commerce and 20 students from the South Korean city recently took part in a School District 43 summer program in Coquitlam. Foshan
SOLAR-POWERED PHONE STATION Visitors to Coquitlam’s Spirit Square need not worry if their phone is on the verge of running out of juice. The city has installed a solar-powered charging station next to a bench at the green space, which is located on Burlington Drive across from city hall and is capable of powering up two phones. One unit costs $3,000 and was paid for out of the city’s hardware operating budget. The project is part of Coquitlam’s submission for the Smart Cities Challenge, a contest run by Infrastructure Canada that could see millions in federal grants given to the winner. According to city staff, the phone charging station is weather-resistant and collects solar power during the day and stores the energy in batteries for charging at any time. The batteries can provide up to 10 hours of charging and can still hold a charge after a week of clouds and rain, the city said in a press release. People who use the charger must provide their own USB cord. Use of the station will be monitored and if it is popular, more outlets will be added to other public spaces. also has an active relationship with the SD43, Munro said. “We have folks living here with connections back to China and South Korea,” he added. “These two cities have been very active.” The educational component is significant, Munro said, because people who attend school in the area from overseas are more likely to forge business relationships in the community. As well, the average student generates $30,000 in economic spinoffs for the community, he added.
PLANNING YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE WHILE PAYING FOR YOUR SENIOR LOVED ONES’ CARE This workshop will help you determine financial goals, and plan your future while ensuring you and your family will have the means to help care for your aging loved ones. We will talk about what to expect in terms of long term care costs as well as solutions on funding. Presenter Sean Jamieson CPF RRC, Financial Consultant, has been practicing full financial planning since 2000 and works with families and businesses in the Lower Mainland to provide a full array of financial services.
While government-to-government partnerships are important in providing economic and cultural benefits, as well as shared information on best practices, there are no imminent plans of adding new sister or friendship city agreements any time soon, Munro said. “If there is a good relationship down the road, we will look at it,” he said. “But at this point in time, lets focus on the relationships that are creating value.”

BURKE MOUNTAIN
Blended middle and high school proposed SD43 aiming for a 2023 opening on Burke Mountain DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
School District 43 wants to build a blended school to accommodate both middle and high school students in a single building to open on Burke Mountain in Coquitlam in 2023, ahead of the schedule for separate schools. But the promise of an earlier opening date has raised the ire of some parents. And SD43 is still a long way from securing funding for the building — estimated to cost $70 million — that would be located on land at David Avenue and Soball Street, and is using its own capital funds to get conceptual drawings and other work done, says board chair Kerri Palmer Isaak. “We’re very very excited about this, it’s kind of an out-of-the-box solution,” she said, adding that the blended school idea was forwarded to the Ministry of Education last March for approval and was given the OK. The next step is for the dis-

She didn’t know how many students would be attending the school upon opening and in what configuration, but did confirm the district anticipates having enough students for a blended school by ’23 — although not enough to fill separate middle and high schools. Eventually, when enrolment grows, a separate middle school would be built on the site, leaving the original structure for secondary students. When it opens, however, the blended building — built on the northwest corner of the site — would be divided with separate entrances, staggered start times and other accommodations for students.
By constructing a single building to accommodate students over seven grades, Burke Mountain would get the schools two to three years earlier than projected, she said, reflecting the most recent timeline on the district’s website that projects a mid-2025 middle school opening and mid-’26 opening for a secondary school. But parent Alon Weinberger says the school district is taking credit for fast-tracking the project when it’s just sticking to its original time sequence. Pointing to a meeting in June 2015 when parents were told a middle school would open in 2023 and a secondary school in ’24, Weinberger said the blended school is a good idea but should be built sooner because there are already enough students — or soon will be — to fill it based on the latest census numbers. “What they’ve done, they’ve pulled a Sears liquidation sale against us, this is insulting to our community that they don’t think we keep track of this,” said Weinberger, who spoke at a meeting last Thursday when the school district revealed its plans. see SOME PARENTS, page 19

LOOKING FOR A CAREER IN HEALTHCARE?
Schools for Tri-City waterfront dev’t.? DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
Schools may be needed in two residential developments proposed for waterfront areas in Port Moody and Coquitlam as School District 43 reviews its long-term classroom needs. PoMo’s Flavelle Oceanfront Development wants to build 3,397 units in a mix of condos and townhouses in Port Moody, prompting SD43 to list a new elementary school for the area in its most recent new school land acquisition plan. And Beedie Living’s plans to add 1,000 residential units to the 3,400 to 3,700 previously planned for Fraser Mills in Coquitlam has also prompted SD43 to take a second look at whether a school is needed. (A school for Fraser Mills was taken off the capital plan list in 2015 because the number of students projected to live in the development was considered too small to warrant a school, especially as the district was moving toward building larger schools.)
In both cases, the district will be trying to determine how many children are expected to move into those buildings over time, and if the numbers are 450 kindergarten to Grade 5 students, a school could be required, said Ivano Cecchini, assistant secretary treasurer for facilities and planning. (For a middle school, 600 students are needed; for a high school, 1,000.) But whether these schools are ever built is uncertain. “We want to give the headsup to the community and the developer [about] the potential of school sites,” Cecchini said, explaining the purpose of the school site acquisition plan. Developers could change the housing mix so fewer families with school-aged children would move into an area, eliminating the need for a 2.5-hectare site for a school, or there could be changes in neighbouring schools that could affect school planning and prompt a new building or eliminate the need for one. Coquitlam’s general manager of planning and development, Jim McIntyre, said community needs such as a school are part of a larger discussion about the Fraser Mills site that is still to come.
some parents aren’t pleased with plan continued from page 17
He and parent Mery Naveh recently submitted a petition to the school district calling for a middle school to open in 2020. “We do have over 1,000 kids, census numbers that can easily justify a current school in one building,” he said. Palmer Isaak said she is confident in the school district’s own projections, noting that approximately 10% of students
will go to private school and 20% will enrol in programs of choice, bringing down enrolment numbers. But she also promised the district would review its numbers and plans given parent frustrations expressed at Thursday’s meeting. “I understand and I feel their frustration there. There’s no way we can get them [schools] built fast enough.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

The need for new schools to meet growth in the Tri-Cities comes as SD43 is calling for changes into how new schools are funded. Last month, SD43 board chair Kerri Palmer Isaak said it takes too long for the province to fund schools and a faster process is needed to make sure children in new developments have a place to go to school close to home.

Denying signs of hearing loss and not actively seeking a solution is largely attributed to the stigma that’s associated with wearing hearing aids. But what many don’t know is that hearing aid technology has come a long way. Gone are the outdated, uncomfortable and noticeably clunky hearing aids.

Homemade for holidays A GOOD READ SUSAN CLARK
C
reating a Christmas or Hanukkah gift is not necessarily less expensive than purchasing something from the store. But an item that you took the time and effort to put together will be appreciated because it is unique. These books will inspire you to create the perfect gift for every person on your list. If you are looking for a handson project, you might want to try needle felting. All you need to get started is wool, a felting needle and a foam pad. Wool Pets: Making 20 Figures with Wool Roving and Barbed Needle by Laurie Sharp describes how the felting needle works with wool fibre to create felt. The reader learns how to hold the needle and what sort of material to use. There are 20 projects, including birds, bugs, animals and people. There are good step-by-step photos and easy small projects such as a ladybug and a bumble bee, as well as more complicated projects that move beyond the basic skills. Gifts for Kids to Make by Cheryl Owen has great gift ideas that kids from ages six to 10 can make for family and friends. There are projects for every special occasion. Some are for kids who like to get messy with clay and paint while others are for those that enjoy being neat and tidy. There are easy cooking and sewing projects with fun art projects, such as painting round stones to make pebble pets with funny googly eyes. Instructions have suggested age levels and time requirements for each craft. A little adult help may be required for younger crafters.
Colour photographs of kids busy with all kinds of activities accompany each project. These gifts are perfect for a child who wants to make something special for someone special. Simply Sublime Gifts: HighStyle Low-Sew Projects to Make in a Snap by Jodi Kahn, features handmade, inexpensive fabric gifts that are quick and easy. There are projects that are perfect for hostess gifts, birthday presents, teachers and just about anyone. There are 30 fun and imaginative gift ideas to make quickly, inexpensively and with little to no sewing using clever shortcuts and inventive techniques. Many of the gifts are made from recycled or repurposed materials. Holiday gifts include fabric note cards, stuffed ornaments, fabric nesting bowls and Christmas stockings. Heartfelt gloves are an easy way to create something unique in just three steps. You will love giving these handmade gifts as a perfect present for anyone on your list. The holidays are all about bringing the whole family together for some crafting and baking fun. Children ages four and up can look through Holiday Crafting and Baking with Kids by Jessica Strand and choose their own craft. Each project is accompanied by a list of supplies and instructions that are easy to follow. There are di-

rections for making snowflakes, autumn leaf wreaths, handprinted gift wrap, garlands and more. The materials required are inexpensive and easy to find. No list would be complete without a look at the beautiful assortment of gifts from Martha Stewart’s Handmade Holiday Crafts: 225 Inspired Projects for Year-Round Celebrations. Project topics include cards and greetings, decorations, gifts and gift wrapping, tabletop accents, party favours and kids’ crafts as well as more holiday-specific activities, such as egg dyeing, pumpkin carving and tree trimming. This book is a great alloccasion resource because of its fine illustrations, wonderful photographs and step-by-step instructions on how to fashion each object. Projects are easy to make and instructions and supplies are on one page. Have a look at this book even if you are not planning on making gifts this holiday season. The beauty of the holiday season is enhanced with lovely flower arrangements. Whether hosting a party or preparing a holiday gift for a friend, flowers are a natural addition to someone’s home décor. The Flower Workshop by Ariella Chezar walks you through the basics of creating a variety of small arrangements including wreaths, garlands, and gifts. All of the arrangements are accompanied by detailed photography and there is advice on everything from texture and colour to foliage and containers. Drop by your local library and learn how to celebrate the holidays with heartfelt homemade gifts that are developed and created by your very own hands.

YOUR GUIDE TO HEALTHY LIVING IN THE TRI CITIES
3 secrets to making morning workouts a reality Hectic schedules dominated by obligations to work and family can make it difficult to find time to exercise. But working out in the early morning, before the kids wake up and coworkers’ emails begin flooding your inbox, can help men and women meet the recommended exercise guidelines and might even provide a noticeable energy boost throughout the rest of the day. here are 3 tips to make it work. 1. Prepare the night before. Waking up with a to-do list in the morning takes away from the time you have to exercise. Rather than fumbling for your gym clothes and sneakers in the darkness of your pre-dawn bedroom, lay out your workout gear before going to bed each night. Lay out your work clothes as well so you spend more time exercising in the morning and less time choosing an outfit.
DENTISTRY FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN Did you know that cavities are the most common chronic disease in children? In fact, the most common surgery at BC Children’s Hospital involves putting kids under general anesthesia to fix cavities. Prevent cavities with routine checkups at Kidsteeth.
Dr. Diederik W. Millenaar, Inc. Certified Specialist in Pediatric Dentistry
2. Set your alarm earlier than you intend to wake up. Few people wake up the moment their alarm clocks first go off. Snooze buttons may help you ease into your wakeup routine, but those post-snooze button minutes are minutes you could be spending getting your recommended daily exercise. If you’re a snooze button devotee and you want to be up by 6 a.m., then set your alarm for 5:50 a.m. 3. Get a good night’s sleep. It is recommended that adults between the ages of 26 and 64 get between seven and nine hours of sleep per night. A good night’s sleep will help you feel more energetic when that alarm goes off, even if it is going off before the sun rises. Exercise and sleep go hand in hand, as studies have shown that routine exercise actually improves quality of sleep because exercise is a beneficial stressor to the body, which responds to the stress of exercise by increasing the amount of time the body spends in deep sleep. Many adults struggle to find time for daily exercise, but early morning might be the best time for busy men and women to break a sweat.

Blue Devils look ahead after loss in FV final Team heads to provincials with only one loss MARIO BARTEL
THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The Dr. Charles Best Blue Devils picked the worst time to lose their first game of the BC Secondary Schools Soccer Commission season. Or did they? The Blue Devils fell to Panorama Ridge 2-0 in last Thursday’s Fraser Valley final at Coquitlam’s Town Centre park. But Best coach Dave Jones said the result may serve as motivation for his experienced squad heading into the provincial championships, which begin Nov. 23 in Burnaby. “They were really disappointed they didn’t get this win today,” said Jones of his charges. “Adversity is always good and to experience it at this stage of the game is going to give them some motivation going forward.” It may also be prophetic that last year the Blue Devils won the Fraser Valley’s but stumbled to fifth place at the provincials. Jones said the sting of that is still being felt by the eight veterans of that team that form the core of this year’s squad which romped through league play, outscoring their opponents 36-6 in seven games. “They’re really focused on provincials,” Jones said. “Getting there was the first hurdle.” The Blue Devils dominated much of last Thursday’s re-

Panorama Ridge won the match, 2-0. gional final, but a couple of breakdowns in communication in the defensive zone cost them. Jones chalked up those lapses to some inexperienced players who found themselves pressed into unfamiliar roles because of a slew of niggling
injuries to starters. But the experience should serve them well in the long run. “Depth-wise… I think we’re looking pretty good,” Jones said. And with almost two full weeks until their next game, the injured players have plenty
of time to mend and get into game form. Jones said he’s not about to hit any panic buttons over one untimely loss. “We have to keep doing what we’re doing,” he said. “We carried a lot of the play. I was really happy the boys kept
generating opportunities.”
ROYALS FALL SHORT The Douglas Royals men’s soccer team was hoping their luck against the Vancouver Island University Mariners might change on Saturday, when it counted most.
Instead, the Mariners continued their dominance over Douglas with a 1-0 victory in the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association championship match in Nanaimo. It was the third time in four meetings between the teams this season VIU emerged victorious; the other game ended in a draw. Playing on their home turf, the Mariners locked down the defence after they opened the scoring in the 15th minute when Stefan Cukovic was able to take advantage of a miscue by Royals’ defenders and chip a shot over Douglas keeper Ryo Mizuno. Douglas had a couple of opportunities later in the half to equalize, but Mariners’ keeper David Turkstra was able to punch away dangerous crosses. The Royals appeared to tie the match in the second half, but the goal was nullified by an offside whistle. Otherwise, Douglas was unable to penetrate through VIU defenders Jeff Travis and Ryan McCurdy. Midfielder Tetsuya Yoshinga was named player of the game for Douglas, while Colin Knight earned the honour for Vancouver Island. The Royals reached the final after defeating the Keyano Huskies 2-0 in last Thursday’s semi-final, and a 2-1 victory, after penalty kicks, over Algonquin College in the national tournament’s opening round. Saturday’s final was only the second time in CCAA history two teams from the same conference had played for the men’s soccer championship. see DOUGLAS, page 33

The Eagles won the game, 5-3, and swept the teams’ home-and-home weekend series after they also beat the Express 4-2 on Friday in Surrey. Saturday, the Express squandered a 2-0 lead in the first period and a 3-2 advantage in the second period before giving up two unanswered goals in the third period en route to their 16th loss of the season. They were also outshot by the visitors, 40-22. Landon Fuller, Hadyn Delorme and Joshua Bruce scored the Express’ goals. Friday, Coquitlam spotted the Eagles a 2-0 lead in the first period and never recovered as they also trailed 3-1 at the end of the second. They closed to within a goal in the third period, but John Wesley scored into an empty net in the game’s final minute to seal the win for Surrey. Eric Linell and William Lawrence scored for the Express, and Hamm stopped 39 of the 42 shots he faced. The Express play the Rivermen in Langley on Thursday before returning home for a pair of games, Friday against Wenatchee and Sunday afternoon against Alberni Valley.

The Douglas Royals’ women’s soccer team finished fifth at their national championship in Halifax on Saturday. The Royals, which went into the tournament ranked fourth in the country, lost
their semi-final match, 2-0, to Algonquin College last Thursday. But they were able to rebound on Saturday with a 1-0 win over the GPRC Wolves. Coquitlam’s Alyssa Lum scored the only goal the Royals needed, early in the second half. An earlier
marker by Douglas in the first half had been disallowed after the referee ruled the ball was still moving when a free kick was chipped into the net. The tournament was won by Elans de Garneau, which beat the Champlain Saint-Lambert Cavaliers 1-0.

Burnaby and Tri-Cities named in BC’s top 10 cities for real estate investment The Tri-Cities and Burnaby both rank in the top 10 cities in BC for real estate investment, according to an annual ranking by the Real Estate Investment Network (REIN). The 2017 survey identifies the top 10 cities in the province for real estate investment, based on REIN’s research, which includes “all economic and demographic fundamental key drivers combined with the current influencers impacting specific markets,” said the report. Tri-Cities made the list at number 8, and Burnaby was number 9, both beating out Vancouver. However it was the rapidly growing city of Surrey that was once again ranked as the best bet to invest in real estate. The top 10 cities for this year’s rankings are: 1. Surrey 2. Abbotsford 3. New Westminster 4. Victoria 5. Kamloops 6. Kelowna 7. Chilliwack 8. Tri-Cities 9. Burnaby 10. Vancouver Each city is identified as sitting somewhere on REIN’s boom-bustrecovery cycle, which sets out nine stages of the market.
REIN said that overall, the Tri-Cities was coming towards the end of a big boom. But it added, “There are still many neighbourhoods in the area that are just beginning to enter a boom cycle, especially those within 800 meters of SkyTrain and Westcoast Express stations. The demand for condos and townhouses over single-family homes will lead to a tempering of average sale price figures over the coming years. Demand isn’t slowing; it is just shifting to a different housing style.”

MEDIAN SALE PRICE** $519,000 $1,100,000

As for Burnaby, the research group described it as being somewhere between the middle of a recovery to the beginning of a boom, depending on the neighbourhood. The report said, “Home values are still increasing, though at a slower pace, and due to affordability, demand shifted from single-family homes to more affordable townhomes and condominiums… With new developments on the horizon, Burnaby now trends towards a boom.”

Vancouver just squeaked into the top 10, being described by REIN as at the “end of a boom.” The report authors said that even though this is the market’s current status, having seen rapid home-price rises over recent years, “prices, especially in the condo market, are not expected to drop dramatically from this peak.”
